s claimt. (ci. 2 17'4) 'I'his invention relates to and has for an object fthe. provision of a simplefeconomical and emthe face of a person.

cient head covering adapted to be worn on the head while removing andputting on clothing so as to prevent the disarranging of the hair and also serving to prevent the soiling of the clothing' by cosmetics and the like which are applied to I have shown a preferred form of device, subject to mod ication, within the scope oI the, appended claims, without departing from the spirit of my invention, in the accompanying drawing,-

in which:

Fig. 1 is'a front view of the improved covering in position upon the head of a wearer;

Fig. 2 is a side view of thev same; Fig. 3 is a rear view; v Fig. 4 is a plan view of the covering extended atwise for illustrating the structural character- `by means of which the isticsof the device;

Fig. 5.is a side view of the device folded in the lcenter and detached from the head.

The preferred vform of head covering embody- `ing my'invention includes a single front piece -I, apair of similar rear pieces 2 and`3, and end X.

pieces [and 5 of similar form and forming ties 4device may be held -on the head of a person. i

It will be observed that the front piece I is 'joined to the pieces 2 and3 by a seam 6 which,

when the device is properly positioned on the head extends diagonallydownwardly over the forehead and sides of the head Just forwardly of the ears. joined together in. a medianplane on a seam i and the end pieces, orties 4 and 5 are similarly Joined to the outerL4 margins of pieces 2 and 3 by seams 8 and 9, respectively, which are dis- 'i l posed at seam 'I.

It is important to form the covering with the. margins I0, I0 of pieces I and`5 parallel with the warp of the material while the oppositel margins II, II of said pieces are biased, as shown angles with respeczt to the central inrig. 4, also the pieces 2 and 3 areJbiased relative Ito the seams 8 and and are parallel 'Ihe pieces 2 and 3 are similarly `be oppbsitely extended,

Itions and tied atl I2 at the with the central seam 1. Thus the several pieces of the material are so cut and secured together at their meeting margins that the material will readily stretch and conform to tho shape of the head. for holding the hair closelyagainst the 5 head while the covering is in position thereon.

The pieces 4 and 5 are substantially elongated and are of triangular formso that they may as shown in Fig. *3, around the back of the neck in o erlapping posi- 10 front of the neck for holding the covering snugly in position on the head with face entirely covered. .To this end the front piece I depends substantially below the lower ends of seam 6, as shownvin Fig.-I5, l15

so that the lower margin I3 thereof may be gathered and folded-under the ties 4 andl 5, as shown in Fig. 2.

Pieces 2 and 8 are formed with a plurality of darts I4, Mmetc. extending upwardly from seams 8 and 9, respectively, so that said portions may readily be adapted to the conformation of the" head, as shown in Fig. 3. l When placed in position over the head `the ties 4 and 5 are pulled outwardly `and the device ,25 is then lslipped downwardly over the head with the front piece depending overv the face to a.

point below the chin and the portions 2 and 3 covering and serving to hold the hair in dressed condition close to the head. The front piece I is held inwardly under .the chin by the ties l and 5 when the ties are crossed and pulled tightly around the neck in opposite directions so as to enfold' the front piece I,. and the pieces 4 and 5 are tied at I2 over the lower portion of the front piece I, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. e When so positioned, the covering prevents the disarrangement of the hair while clothing is being removed or and the disarranging Vas put on of cosmetics on the face and the transfer o f .inv

the cosmetics to the garments being donned.r The covering is, however. of thin and delicate gauze or netting of cheap or expensive mate- ',rial, asmay be desired, and permits vision and breathing therethrough lat all times.

45 What-I claim, is:

1. A headvcovering of the character described* comprising: sheets of net material cut and formed to t over `and to completely embrace the head and having its lower margins disposed 50 below theneck line, said sheets including a front, -A

-a pair of back piecesvstitched to said front, and

extensions thereon projecting in op'pite direc'- tions and adapted to be crossed in the back and extended around the neck for eni'olding and 55 covering against removal, said extensions being `stitched to the lateral margins of said hack pieces, said material being perforate for admitting air to the interior of said covering and for permitting vision therethrough.

2'. a nena covering formed of netting and 1ncluding a iront portion, a` back secured theretoI the covering in position for use, said extensions being of gradually increasing width from their outer extremities inwardly, and having corresponding margins cut on a bias while their other holding the lower portions or said position.

margins are cut parallel with the warp of the material. l

3. A head covering of the character described comprising: a sheet orf material cut and formed to fit over and to completely embrace the head and having its lower margins disposed below the neck line, and extensions thereon attached together on a median line and projecting in opposite directions at an obtuse angle and adapted to be crossed in the back and exing against removal, said extensions having corresponding margins cuton a bias whereby' the same may be readily stretched into tied AILLEENE ROBERTS.
